CANCER MISDIAGNOSIS
A misdiagnosis or a delayed diagnosis of cancer (nearly any type) can be fatal or, at best, life-altering. It does happen, but that does not mean it is OK. Such errors cause thousands of deaths each year across the U.S. Claims of failure to diagnose all types of serious conditions and diseases make up about half of medical malpractice claims
nationwide.
EARLY DETECTION AND PROPER DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER
This is critical to catching the disease in time, finding the right treatment and recovering in a healthy way. Many treatments depend on early detection, so it is important that all appropriate medical procedures are followed by the treating professional and that appropriate referrals are made if there is even a hint of a complex condition.
We can review the circumstances of the medical treatment with our experts to determine if cancer should have been diagnosed earlier. Failure to make a referral is another common error among general practitioners.
Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose cancer are preventable errors, and if our team can prove departure from a recognized standard of care
and causation
by the medical professional (usually a primary care physician, radiologist, specialist or oncologist), you could have a case for medical malpractice.
We handle cases involving misdiagnosis of:
- Pancreatic cancer
- Breast cancer
- Brain cancer
- Lung cancer
The key is linking the medical professional's mistake to specific injury or death. Our lawyers also handle cases of wrongful death
that may result from complications of cancer.
